Join the Austin Oxfam Action Corps to help put a human face to the devastating affects of climate change. The walk is a visual representation of the current and future hardships caused by erratic temperature and rainfall, flooding, drought, competition over scarce resources—and the growing distance that poor people, especially women and children, will have to walk for water.
We've all seen the images on the evening news: the droughts, floods, hunger, and disease. Decades of greenhouse gas emissions have finally caught up with our climate—and it's the poorest among us who are worst affected. Oxfam America organized the Walk for Climate Justice to draw attention to these impacts and to highlight the human face of climate change.
Meet at the TX Capitol S. Steps in Austin, TX 78711, 3:30pm
